Abstract: Abstract In the industrial revolution, factories divided the process of building a product into different steps. Instead of building complete products, workers completed just one of these steps as their contribution to the team building a large number of products. Adam Smith (1776) championed this division of labor as dramatically increasing both the quantity and quality of production.
